Spring Decor for Your Door

I found this great nest at a local discount store this weekend and I knew I had a thrift store basket that would work well for this project.

The basket started out natural and I spray painted it white.

I placed  floral foam blocks down in my basket.

I placed a large piece of sheet moss over the blocks.  

 I placed my new little nest in the center of the sheet moss.

Then I placed some ferns in the sheet moss and stuck them down into the foam blocks.  You could pin any of this down with floral picks or pins too.

 I then added some baby's breath for a filler. 

 I took 3 yards of a white wired ribbon I had left over from another project and fan folded it to the size bow I wanted.

 I then fold that in half.

 Then I cut each corner off.  This is just how I make a bow.

I am sure there are other ways to do it.

I stick a floral pipe cleaner through the fold.

And then I twist it real tight.

Then I fluff my bow.

This is the finished product.  The plus to this basket is it had a flat back that hung on the door and it had a flat bottom which could sit on a table so you could get multiple uses out of it.

Just one more close up of that little nest.

I will be linking this up to Fun to Craft's Look At Me I Am so Crafty party.
